"The Badgers were the first to offer. They said he could do football and track. They would be high on his list."
"Notre Dame, Purdue, and Colorado, those are some others that are high on his list."
"Iowa, Nebraska's a good program. Northwestern and USC are being considered too."
"All of them have offered."
"We really haven't done a lot of visitations yet. Proximity and quality of school will be important. He'll look at the schools closest first, but we'll support him wherever he goes."
